@@AustinChubak That is why the instructor said "dive to me". If he had begun falling off to the right, he would have dived, and the instructor would have death gripped him at I think the worst injury would be a bar smack to the face and a broken lip. There is risk in Parkour, but he made it as safe as possible and these are things you need to learn for the basics. Once you get this down, the extreme stuff is just getting mentally comfortable through acclimatization.

Just as a safety note: I noticed that you seemed to be using regular mic transmitters. If you are doing activity where you could fall on the transmitter, it could create a pressure area which could cause injury. Looking into alternative solutions may be a good (safe) idea. I think they make mic packs that are designed to be softer for impact sports, and there is also the option of just not using wireless mics in scenes where you may fall. Edit: Noticed Tom actually falls on the region where the mic would be. This could have ended poorly. Please consider looking into alternative mic solutions which will be safer.

Tom, you surely don‘t need me telling you this but the openness and humility (sometimes bordering on the old nerd-safeguard of self-deprecation) with which you confront these challenges is inspiring. My word, you‘re an ambassador, bridging the gap between, and I say this in the most loving way possible, „nerds“ and „jocks“ (which applies to your brilliant training partners as well, obviously), and it‘s absolutely marvelous. We‘re all rooting for you and if your videos influence a single person to get out of their comfort zone (there is no doubt it‘s considerably more than one person with each of those videos), then you‘ve made a positive impact on the world, and that‘s something you can be supremely proud of, even with all your trademark humility.

Most people think parkour is doing a huge frontflip off a 2 story building, and it is, but so is any creative and personally challenging movement through any environment. Everyone should give it try; at least learn the fundamentals.

@meatandmeat it must be something like that. You are balancing on something, and then you mess up a little. Your body, rather than try to correct, assumes that this is total failure and tries to stop you from dying, but not falling. Our immune system works in a similar way. There is only so much it can do, so it prioritizes keeping you alive over stopping every single infection and malady at the start.

I think the instinctive reaction is just to shift the center of mass away from the side you are falling to as quickly as possible (by moving one's arms in that direction and also bending tye upper body). But that "as quick as possible and as much as possible" approach, which works well for most other instinctive reactions does, in this instance, lead to a lot of overshooting, which escalates things out of control

That is, it is okay to say no. Regardless of what the activity or why you feel the way you do, it is not just okay, but admirable to speak up and take a new perspective.
